OTHERS I WANT TO CATCH UP WITH
"I'm Baaaaaack!"
Lol it's been awhile guys, but I'm trying to make a little time to get a few blogs in! I just don't have the time I did a few months ago to just blog more often, I wish I did though, I've really began to enjoy expressing myself and showing off the things I like and my thoughts through here! Since I last blogged I've been through quite a few things, relationship wise, school, economical. You could say this year has been quite a stepping stone for me, I feel like I learned quite a few lessons sadly the hard way but at least they were learned and now I finally feel like I'm entering the next chapter in my life! I've realized I really want to focus on film, photography and fashion! I want to attempt working on all 3 as simultaneously as possible, it be a dream to direct, photograph, and design clothes! I realized why should I have to pick just one when I am so interested in all 3! I am going to go to school mainly for my film Bachelors but I want to save up and start making my clothes and hopefully soon by myself a more professional camera and start doing photo shoots. :) I think now more than ever I'm really just ready to embark on my future and focus on making something of myself and producing ART more than anything! That's my number one true love, art!
As for life right now, things are getting better! I just got news today that I was selected for a job I applied for a few weeks ago! I'm sooooo soooo sooo excited for that! It's going to be a big help enthusiastically, and financially,just what I needed right now to be able to focus more on what I want to be doing! :) As for my health, I recently had to go to the ophthalmologist because my right eye got red and swollen and at first it was thought to have been pink eye but once my eye swell up as much as it did and I went back they told me it was a stye outbreak, these nasty pimple like things that form within your eye lid, I used to get them when I was smaller, but after getting 3 removed three years ago I never got one again, until now that is! Luckily the doctor prescribed some antibiotic medication and ointment and its really healed it up beautifully, it's almost gone :) Thank god!!! The sucky part is that the pills are for the skin and make your skin sensitive to dark so I can't really get much soon and living in Miami and not getting sun is tough so I've kinda been hiding from the sun lately and I'm getting white as hell lol, now that I'm back to being a brunette and pale from my lack of sun exposure, I'm starting to look like I belong in a Twilight movie...lol which isn't technically that bad, those kids are banking some big bucks, no? lol...Now all I need is Taylor Lautner's abs ;P!! Haha! As for Romance, things haven't exactly worked out the way I had thought they would...unfortunately, but every failed relationship definitely has taught me a lesson, and a few lessons at that, like I always say "I would never take back dating who I've dated and experiencing what I've experienced, because the good and the bad has brought me to be the person I am today, having learned what I now know"! Wise words from Randy ;)! Now I may not be dating anyone at the moment but I am sure as hell moving forward knowing a little better what it is I want in a person! At the moment I'm pretty happy with how things have turned out, and I'm just excited to start making some clothes, working on some more photos and projects, working on the whole acting thing, writing down some short film ideas and making them happen, start working, have this eye fully heal up so that I can go out DANCING ^_^ and just ready to live my life, one step at a time!

I Wouldn't Want To Listen To Anything Else.
Hey guys, I know I've been gone for awhile. Been busy with life! Lol, hadn't found the time to get on here and blog until today. I've been doing a bunch of job hunting and partying lol I can't complain, I've been enjoying life at every possible chance and just been doing a lot of growing up and introspection. But when I haven't been doing that, I've been working on my photography, I've been working out a lot more often (been jogging and doing pilates and exercising on my AirClimber, which is amazing by the way) and I even found time to bleach and dye my hair blond, going for a James Dean look...and with good reason ;) but that I will leave on the D.L. until when I've finished what I want to do and can show off my project for you guys to see!
So I figured I'd blog about music because I've spent all day today listening to music and lately I've found a few good artists who have stuck to me and become a part of my favorite's list. These being songs I could listen to over and over again....and I HAVE! lol I want to introduce them to you so that you can see the singers, songs, and music videos I am digging at the moment :). Here they are, I hope you enjoy them!!!
So I'm starting off the list with Jack Peñate. Jack is from the UK ("I love me the british musicians!") and what I really love about him is how his music varies and has different sounds. I've heard a few of his songs and I've yet to find a similar sound among all his stuff! The two music videos of his that really caught my eye and ear were these two:
Tonight's Today

I Can't Wait! :)
Broken Embraces is about an aging and blind film director (Lluís Homar) tells his personal assistant, Diego, about his life before the accident that left him in the dark, when he became embroiled in a torrid affair with aspiring actress Lena (Penélope Cruz). His story also involves Diego's film producer mother and a deceitful financier.

"You Never Were & You Never Will Be Mine"
I am LOOOOOOOOOOVING this song so much right now!!! Robyn is rocking my world lol, you know when you have a song that you just want to hear over and over and over again?...Well that's how I am feeling about Robyn's '07 single Be Mine. I first heard it yesterday while looking for Lady Gaga's acoustic Cherrytree Sessions' version of her songs, Robyn had also recorded some of her stuff with Cherrytree Records and the song happened to of been the first one on the list and from the second I heard it acoustically I knew I loved it! ^_^ Her voice has this uniqueness to it and the song's beats are very circa 1990s dance music.....maybe that's why I like it all that more? (I'm a huge 1990s dance music fan :) Rhythm Is A Dancer, Where Do You Go?, Sweet Dreams, Be My Lover...some of my all time favorite dance songs!!!) Well today I found the music video to the Be Mine song (gotta love Youtube) and it is definitely very throwback to the 90s, I love it! Can't stop listening to it :), So here's the video of the acoustic performance of Be Mine and the actual music video to the song! ENJOY GUYS!!!
P.S.---Doesn't it remind you a bit of the song Time After Time?...It kinda reminds me of it!

'LoveGame' Music Video.
April Fools....Or Not!
I know, I know, I should of probably just bought it a cover but I felt creative and honestly I really liked how it came out I wish I was able to of sprayed it with a primer to of preserved the paint and kept it from chipping as bad as it has. Lol my friend, Michelle, really liked it too, she actually asked if I could do something similar to her Blackberry lol. Let's hope I can soon get a new phone or a replacement but in the meantime my little beat-up, paint chipping phone will have to do! :)

I Am Loving 'Living Thing'!!!
They're new CD titled 'Living Thing' really does suite the experimental sounds of their songs where you would really describe each song to be a living thing! They are all alive with beats, claps, sounds, and lyrics that at least keep me in a daze :) I love it! Good job guys, I definitely plan on going out and buying this CD and adding it to my small list of CD's I own (I mean, who buys CD's now a days?) and I would like to own it in Vinyl, I need a Vinyl record player first :).
Well I tried gathering some of the songs from the CD here so that you guys can have a preview! If you visit the band's Myspace page you can listen to the entire CD. Hope you guys enjoy the songs! Until next time!!

What Is Going On So Far...
St. Patrick's day was pretty interesting, tried attending a Shoe fashion show with my friend, Stephanie, but little did we know the show started at 1 in the morning so we ended up having to leave early! I also had a shot by the name of Washington Apple at Flanigan's which was very delicious! Went to go see the Knowing (which was pretty interesting) and drove all the way to Pompano Beach all on my own xD which felt like quite an accomplishment! Got hooked on a show called The United States Of Tara on Showtime which is awesome and am currently enjoying the company of my uncle, aunt, and little cousin who moved to Miami from Canada. Things seem pretty good! I really can't complain, we'll see what else March has in store for me :)

"It's All Fun & Games Until Someone Loses An Eye"
Welcoming March :) And All It's Wonderful Events!
Waters Of March - Luciana Souza
The funny thing was that while making the shirts I realized I have always been spelling the word "oops" incorrectly X_x I've been spelling it "opps" with 2 p's lol I liked my opps though :( I've caught myself a few times trying to write opps instead oops since I noticed, and even though a part of me wants to fix it so that I write it correctly another part of me thinks its a cute flaw...haha..oh well!
As for the rest of March, I have Funkshion to look forward to, going to be going once again with my friend Stephanie and some other friends of ours. :) I look forward to the dressing up part and just being in the audience of these fashion shows from some famous and some up and coming artists! And also later on in the month I will be hitting up Ft. Lauderdale to check out AI, was there yesterday, and I really liked the environment and I've been thinking a lot about moving over there with Steph, I really want to do somethign like that I think I need that right now in my life, to move away and be on my own, providing for myself, beign the adult I am slowly gorwing into :) and Ft. Lauderdale would be an amazing place to do just that, the surroundings over there are very old school Florida yet they have their up-to-date hot spots as well and the beach is awesome!!! Plus it's not very far from home so if I were to get home sick, it's a short drive away, I can visit family and friends and be their quickly! So will see! March seems liek it will be quite the month for me, I'll try coming back when I get the chance to keep blogging about what's going on here and there, will definitely try and blog the day after the Britney concert let you guys know how it went. I hope you all take care and have a very safe weekend!!

My Picks For Fall Fashion 2009
WILLIAM RAST
Justin Timberlake's fashion line caught my eye this season because of its punk essence. I loved the blacks, the greys, the blazers, the acid washed and ripped jeans. But most importantly I loved the studded leather jacket, I want one lol and the shoes with the fringes are very very CALIENTE!!!! I would love me a pair of those too! :)
TROVATA
Trovata won me over with their green shawl peacoat looking piece, I absolutely loved it. I like how they layered their pieces even using vests and sweaters mixed with pants tucked into boots. I really love that look with the tied up boots, its very ME! lol
CALVIN KLEIN
Calvin did it up with full sophistication as always. Very sexy long coats and one colored suits. Some what 'Matrix-ish', Neo move out of the way, tehre is a new man in town and his name is CK. lol I really enjoyed these pieces specially the one with the nylon coat!
Z ZEGNA
As you can see I really liked Z Zenga. This was the first time I heard of this designer and I have to say I fell quickly Everythign from the hats to the coats to the jackets with the studs and the belted peacoat, the pants, and the suit where the top is all tucked away into the pants really caught my eye as something I'd like to rock! Good job Z Zenga, you have a fan in me!!
